Creamy Italian chicken
Today I'm trying the recipe for “creamy Italian chicken” from p. 214 of “Taste of Home Slow Cooker Classics.” The calorie heavy ingredients are:
| 4 chicken breasts | 840 |
| cream cheese 8 oz | 800 |
| cream of chicken soup, 1 can | 275 |
| Total: | 1915 |
Assuming four servings, that will come to about 480 calories per serving. That's okay for a main dish, if the sides are low calorie.
The recipe called for a packet of Italian dressing. Way too pricey. I substitued a mixture of:
- 1 tbsp mixed Italian herbs
- ½ tbsp onion powder
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
That worked well.
The dish turned out fine. It's simple. Definitely a repeater. I put the crock pot outside as it cooked, so this is a “cool house” recipe.
